Currently, about 95 percent of Texas is in either a severe or exceptional drought status and the past year has been the worst one-year drought in the state's history. This recent drought has devastated farmers and ranchers, and officials have estimated agriculture losses at more than 45.2 billion. This summer, hundreds of wildfires erupted in Texas and burned more than 127,000 acres, the most ever, and lake levels are down as much as 50 feet in some lakes while several West Texas lakes have completely dried up.

A cloud which was designed for rainwas home to drops (that should be plain) .The forecast had announced some showersthus, in the early morning hoursthe signal came from higher upthat all the drops jump off the top.

Two oval shaped good looking dropstook off their speedos and their topsand slowly went up to the edgewhen one of them said 'I do pledgeto never misbehave again',the other answered 'count to ten.'

They were afraid, that much is clearand looking down increased their fear.Little did each tiny rain drop know

How much they're needed for plants to growThat without their courage and impending rain

Those below would suffer drought and pain.

Well you can guess what happened thenThe number ten came and went.Due to the drops' hesitation and doubt -Here we are, in the middle of a drought.
